Composting

What if your table scraps could enrich the earth and create new jobs? It's happening right now – by transforming organic waste into valuable compost. As part of Nova Scotia's Solid Waste-Resource Management Strategy, we're helping to keep these valuable materials out of disposal sites. That means:

fewer and safer disposal sites

leachate reduction (i.e. landfill run-off)

methane reduction (a global warming gas)

job creation

a product to enhance soil (creating stronger, healthier plants)
